Founding of Nava
At Nava Design Studios, we are committed to delivering bespoke architectural solutions that prioritize quality and cultural harmony. Founded by Cornell alumnus Siri Tumpunyawat, our boutique firm takes on a select number of projects at a time to ensure the utmost care and attention to detail.
Our philosophy centers on a non-intrusive approach to architecture, blending the surrounding culture and pre-existing designs with fresh, innovative ideas. With decades of international experience and a legacy shaped by a profound fascination for and integration of local traditions of each project’s working site, we craft spaces that honor the local ecosystem while embracing modernity.
From residential retreats to cultural landmarks, Nava Design Studios creates architecture that tells a story—yours.
